Total float of the first activity

Did you level resources?

Hi Moutaz

Following Vladimir’s question here are a few more.

1. Do you use very long tasks - 30 days plus?
2. Are you using SS FF Links?
3. Are you using + - Lead Lags?
4. Are any tasks set ALAP?

Hi Moutaz,

Do you use multiple calendars in your schedule?

If you did not use any constraints of Start No Earlier Than type then it may be caused by multiple calendars (and this may be true) or resource leveling (and this is wrong - Primavera does not calculate resource constrained floats properly).

No multiple calendars, no resource in the schedule and no constraints.

Moutaz,
Check the logic and filter the longest path. I suspect that it was lying on 3 long activities.

Hi Moutaz,

Though you have completed your program, you have to check your critical activities then once more link it to be more realistic with your logic.

Thanks everybody for response,

Rodel, only one activity out of three is long

I am really stuck with this program, I could not find where is the problem?

Hi Moutaz

Have another look at thread nr 3

Moutaz,
It seems that you have a Must Finish by date define which might be the cause of the problem.

Please check,

press f9 Schedule--Option--Define Critical as ---tick the total float less then or equal to 0h

may be this can be work for you.

Dear all,

There is no must finish by constraint and no constraints at all.

Moutaz

Hi Moutaz,

I saw already your schedule. It seems that you have too much float which is not advisable. But to answer your query why you have a Float of 2days in your START WORKING activity?, you have to adjust your lag to its Successor;

A5310 Hand Over FS 105

then your float will be Zero. Also, put FF relationship if you are linking to Milestones not FS. As what I have mentioned in my previous post, you have to link a more logical relationship to achieve a good critical path. Try to avoid to much Float its no longer realistic....200days and more...you know what i mean.


cheers,
